For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an
empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have
something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey children”. They are
children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a
subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “we had a school rule against
wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling
them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.”
Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working
couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children
at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported beinu frightened. Many had
nightmares and were worried about their own safety

correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Marianne Moore (1887-1972) once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was
no other name for it. Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be
printed in jagged lines on the page. Her subject were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of
poetry. From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful. She included these
in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotation marks, and sometimes identified in footnotes. Of this
practice, she wrote, “Why many quotation marks?’ I am asked ... When a thing has been so well that it
could not be said better, why paraphrase it? Hence, my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of
collection of flies in amber.” Close observation and concentration on detail and the methods of her
poetry.
Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St. Lois. After graduation from Bryn Mawr
College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Later she
became a librarian in New York City. During the 1920’s she was editor of The Dial, an important literary
magazine of the period. She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York. She spent a lot of
time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals. Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers-before the
teammoved to Los Angeles-was widely known. Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921
by a group of friends associated with the Imagist movement. From that time on her poetry has been read
with interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers. In 1952 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize
for her Collected Poems. She wrote that she did not write poetry “for money or fame. To eam a living is
needful, but it can be done in routine ways. One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what
